SAP is an acronym that stands for Satisfactory Academic Progress.

In order to continue receiving federal financial aid, you are required to maintain
satisfactory academic progress as outlined by school policy. Generally our policy
requires that you maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (a C average) and
pass 67% of the courses you attempt. Grades coded as W, I, E, F, MP, and AU count
as courses attempted but NOT passed.

You are also required to complete your educational credential within the maximum time
frame as set forth in the SAP standards. This generally equals around 90 credit hours
attempted, but can vary depending on the program of study you choose. If you fail
to do this, you run the risk of losing your eligibility for aid.

During non-peak periods and providing your financial aid file is complete, we can
process your loan acceptance request in approximately 5-7 days. After we complete
our process, you will have to sign your Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN).
You may complete the MPN at www.studentloans.gov

Additionally, you can sign it electronically using the same Department of Education
PIN used to sign the FAFSA).

If you are a new borrower, you must also complete Entrance Loan Counseling. This
can also be completed at www.studentloans.gov.

Once your loan is approved by the Department of Education, you will receive a Disclosure
Statement that indicates scheduled disbursement dates. These are the tentative dates
that the funds are scheduled to be credited to your student account at KCTCS.

If your loan disbursement(s) create a credit balance on your student account, a refund
will be automatically generated. Refunds are processed on Wednesday evenings with
the actual transaction process taking place on Thursdays through the Higher One Refund
process.
